Curiosity killed the cake

From Russia with Love / Memento

Today's lesson: Fixing screening times and clearly communicating them works much better than waiting for everyone to arrive before starting the DVD, because that leads to serious problems with catching the last train.

From Russia with Love
A James Bond without flying or invisible cars, just a booby-trapped suitcase with hidden compartments, a periscope into the Russian embassy, and shoes with built-in poisoned blades.

Memento
Some movies just have to be watched (at least) twice. The idea of showing the scenes in reverse chronological order is not just a clever device here, it effectively imposes upon the audience the same memory-disorder that the protagonist is suffering from.
